Patent EP-0354531-A3 (EP)
Title: Thermally assisted transfer of small electrostatographic toner particles
IPC: G03G9/087
Filed: 1989-08-08
Abstract: Process where a latent electrostatic image on 
an image-bearing substrate is developed by applying to 
the image a dry thermoplastic toner which comprises a 
binder polymer, and the developed image is transferred 
to the surface of a receiver by contacting the 
developed image on the substrate with the surface, 
then removing the surface from the substrate. The 
process comprises developiNg the latent electro­
static image with a toner having a particle size less 
than 8 micrometers, heating the surface before it 
contacts the developed image to a temperature such 
that the surface heats the toner particles when it 
contacts the developed image to a temperature between 
10°C above the T g  of the toner binder and 20°C below 
the T g  of the toner binder. This temperature is 
sufficient to fuse discrete toner particles that form 
the image to each other at points of contact between 
the particles but, insufficient to cause the 
contacting particles to flow into a single mass. The 
developed image is non-electrostatically transferred 
to the surface of a receiver having a roughness 
average of less than the radius of the particles. The 
developed image is heated after it has been removed 
from the substrate to a temperature sufficient to fix 
it.

Patent EP-0342940-A3 (EP)
IPC: C23F4/00
Filed: 1989-05-17
Abstract: A loading station receives a substrate into a 
load-lock volume pressure isolated from a loading station 
chamber which is open to a processing chamber. The volume is 
evacuated and the substrate lowered into the loading chamber. 
A transport arm moves the substrate frOm the loading station to 
a substrate carrier of a cooling fixture within the processing 
chamber. The carrier is connected to a clamp which together 
move vertically downward to lower the wafer onto a substrate 
seat of the fixture. During substrate processing the fixture 
is tiltable and rotatable and provides substrate cooling by 
solid-to-solid conduction, forced convection and free 
convection.  
     Solid-to-solid conduction is provided by the clamp. 
The substrate is pressed to the fixture by the cooling clamp 
having a circulating cooling fluid.  
     Forced convection is provided by a gas flowing into 
the microspic areas between the substrate and the fixture at a 
pressure high enough to cause bowing or lifting of the 
substrate and thus to create a gas region between the substrate 
and the fixture. An O-ring provides a seal under the pressure 
of the clamps near the periphery of the substrate to 
substantially seal the gas from entering the processing 
chamber. The gas flows into and through the gas region 
absorbing heat energy from the back surface of the substrate 
and flowing out of the region.  
     Free convection is provided by heat transfer between 
the substrate and the substrate seat. The pressure in the gas 
region is high enough that the mean free path of the gas 
 
 
molecules is less than the distance between the substrate and 
the fixture. As a result gas molecules absorb energy from the 
substrate and intermix and transfer energy with other 
molecules. Some molecules collide with the substrate seat and 
transfer heat energy to the seat. After substrate treatment 
the gas is evacuated from behind the substrate prior to release 
of the clamps.
Patent EP-0348168-A3 (EP)
IPC: B25B5/06
Filed: 1989-06-20
Abstract: A fluid-operated actuator (10) for collets, vises, chucks 
and other workpiece engagement devices, for example, the 
actuator (10) having a piston (22) which moves the engagement device (14) 
toward the workpiece (16) with a force equal to product of the 
area of the face (32) of the piston (22) times the pressure of a fluid 
applied to the face. When the engagement device (14) has engaged 
the workpiece (16), additional, relatively slight movement of the 
piston causes a force multiplying mechanism (42-50) to provide 
increased engagement force without increasing the pressure 
of the actuating fluid. The overall travel of the actuator 
mechanism is not limited by the force-multiplying mechanism 
which begins to function only after the unrelated distance 
of travel of the engagement device to the workpiece. Thus, 
for example, compressed air at ordinary shop pressures may 
be used to actuate collets or chucks on automatic lathes or 
the like to provide relatively high clamping forces.

Title: Radiation compatible iodine formulation
IPC: A01N59/12
Filed: 1989-08-24
Abstract: A germicidal iodine containing composition includes iodine, an iodophor, cupric ions and nitrite ions in an aqueous base. Iodide ions which form in the composition during radiation sterilization or prolonged shelf life are oxidized back to iodine by the cupric ions in a pH dependent reaction which consumes hydrogen ions formed concurrently with the iodide ions. Cuprous ions formed during the oxidation are spontaneously cycled back to cupric ions by traces of air present in the composition. The composition may include nitrite ions to augment the conversion of cuprous ions back to the cupric form.

Title: Method and apparatus for driving display device
IPC: H04N3/12
Filed: 1989-11-30
Abstract: In a display device (6) such as thin film EL display 
device which is formed by interposing a dielectric layer 
between a plurality of scanning electrodes (Y) and a 
plurality of data electrodes (X) which are arranged at right 
angles, modulation voltage (V M ) changed in accordance to the 
display data is applied to the data electrode (X), and 
applying writing voltage (V PW , -V NW ) to the scanning 
electrodes (Y) in the order of the lines to perform 
gradation display. According to the invention, because a 
ramp voltage (V R ) which changes with time is used as the 
writing voltage (V PW , -V NW ), the peak of the current flowing 
through the luminescent layer of the picture element as a 
current contributing to the luminescence is suppressed to a 
low level and, accordingly, the energization period (t) of 
the current is also elongated. Thus gradation display over 
multiple levels is made possible and stable display of 
different gradation is enabled.
